“This big, lavish collection will do for Oates what similar volumes did for Katherine Anne Porter and John Cheever.” (Houston Chronicle)

“This collection of stories that Oates feels are her best is as significant as it is breathtaking.” (Booklist)

“Illustrious author Joyce Carol Oates is back with a seminal collection spanning five decades...This anthology is a must-read.” (Harper's Bazaar)
